Close to a beautiful temple that you can visit in the early morning almost with no tourists. The traditional Ryokan is situated on the top of a hill and forest. Nara is visited by a lot of people in summer and it was very hot. We where very happy to find shelter at this traditional and quiet place. A bus took us near there. We took a bath in the shared Onsen. One for women, one for men. The water was very hot. Except us, we where alone. At 18.30 we where served a wonderful meal in our room and our family of 4 had the best time. Afterwards they prepared our beds. Everything was done with a lot of care and we slept well.

They gave special care as we were on honeymoon. Enjoyed the great service. Free entry to the hillside with picnic mat and breakfast bento. Superb! They also helped us call for taxi and was overall very attentive.

It's likely normal but found water slugs at the bathroom area floor after the shower. It likely came in for the water. Other than this, everything was great. Do note that most depend on translator machine to translate to English. So be patient, and use your own phone app to increase better communication with each other :)

This felt like less of a hotel stay and more of an experience as a whole. If you are exploring Nara I would recommend taking at least a day to just enjoy this hotel stay. We were greeted by extremely friendly staff who helped us with every little thing, from taking our luggage to ordering a taxi for our departure. We were served luxurious meals for dinner and breakfast in our room, by staff who set our table and made our bed. The location was magical with beautiful nature and deers roaming around outside. They had an amazing natural hot spring bath as well. Would warmly recommend this place.

This ryokan is a great experience and I definitely recommend it to everyone. Staff is super friendly and helpful, rooms are beautiful, food is delivered to your room and you can taste so many new things. With the japanese kimono and sake in your hand the experience is really authentic :)

The only “problem” is, that this accommodation does not provide shuttle from the station - we came with more suitcases and on our way back we couldnt get a taxi - its better to leave your luggage in station lockers and then just walk through Nara park without it.

Our stay here was one of the best experiences of our whole holiday. The staff were incredibly helpful and the food we had for dinner and breakfast was amazing. Also it is in a beautiful park surrounded by deer. Our stay here will be something we remember forever, could not recommend it more!

Extremely friendly staff and a really nice place. You arrive and the staff take your bags and shoes as they take you to your room and give you a tour of the place, you are then left to settle down before your 11 course dinner arrives in your bedroom. The staff are so friendly, in the morning we got taken to the deer park by a lovely older man and given Benton boxes to eat for breakfast. Really loved my stay here, the bath was amazing too.

Outside of being a bit of a challenge to get to which you can't help, the tranquillity is very worth it; my only regret is not staying longer!!

All staff are very tentative, friendly, and so welcoming. The property is situated close to the park within a walking distance and up on the hill, so you get a good view of a sunset. The food was beautifully plated, all the dishes taste very good and you can tell that it’s from attention to details.

The breakfast menu could use some variety. I understand most people might not stay longer than 2 nights, but if so, the variety of menu should be added in a mix.

The location was great as we visited Todaiji in the late afternoon and Katsugataisha in the morning so we had minimal crowds and really got to experience in a peaceful atmosphere. The food was very good.

The temperature was a little cold overall as with older Japanese structures so had to use the space heater.

Fabulous Ryokan experience. Located on the edge of Nara Park (deers at the front door). Bus 77 from Nara JR takes you to Nara Kasugano Forum stop, then 15mins walk. Todai-ji 10mins walk. Staff were very professional, helpful and extremely friendly. Room 107 (Kiku) was quiet and spacious overlooking wooded area (deers). Choice of Yukata for the ladies. Exceptional dinner and breakfast (Japanese) delivered to the room by the kind staff (coffee available in reception). Bathing can be taken in the relaxing Onsen with all the usual amenities. Would highly recommend.

Traditional Japanese experience, hot tub was so relaxing, great location for kusaga taisha shrine and mt wakakusa. Friendly staff. Just beautiful

We loved everything I would just note to be open to trying different foods to enjoy the experience for dinner and breakfast properly. But we loved it all
